S9 Ep18: Fabian Aloise, choreographer/co-director of Kathy And Stella Solve A Murder & choreographer of Sunset Boulevard

In The Frame: Theatre Interviews from West End Frame

Two time Olivier nominee Fabian Aloise is back In The Frame!
Fabian is the co-director and choreographer of Kathy And Stella Solve A Murder which is about to open in the West End at the Ambassadors Theatre following two sold out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and a tour.
He’s also preparing to make his Broadway debut as the choreographer of Sunset Boulevard starring Nicole Scherzinger and directed by Jamie Lloyd, having received an Olivier nomination for his work on the West End production which ran to huge acclaim at the Savoy Theatre.
Some of Fabian's recent work as a choreographer includes the first international non-replica production of Wicked in Hamberg, Germany, the London production of Bring It On, Cabaret in Paris, SpongeBob The Musical on tour and In Dreams in Leeds and Toronto.
Originally from Canada, Fabian trained as a ballet dancer in Melbourne, Australia but, after being told he wouldn’t make it as a ballet dancer, pursued a career in musical theatre.
As a performer, Fabian appeared in many shows including the West End productions of We Will Rock You and Legally Blonde. He went on to work as an assistant, associate and resident choreographer; he was the resident choreographer for the West End production of Matilda The Musical for five years.
Fabian then began working as a choreographer, with his early work including The View UpStairs at Soho Theatre, The Rink at Southwark Playhouse and Evita at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre directed by Jamie Lloyd, for which he received his first Olivier nomination.
Having done the fourth episode of In The Frame five years ago, Fabian is back to discuss all things Kathy & Stella and Sunset Boulevard, as well as how he feels about the evolution of musical theatre choreography, whether he wants to take on more directing work and the many different paths his career has taken him down so far.
Kathy And Stella Solve A Murder runs at the Ambassadors Theatre 25th May - 14th September. Visit www.kathyandstella.com for info and tickets. Sunset Boulevard begins previews on Broadway on 28th September.
